well of course even i can recognise that it's pop and not real dance music, but it something that the kids can relate to and it's easy enough for them.
i just had to make sure that the lyrics were appropriate for kids.

Maybe it differs from dialect to dialect, but from the Egyptian I know, "enbisto kelna ensaan" is more like "be happy everybody (kelna ensaan =all people)". And I think "za3lan" is more "sad" than "mad".

"Nenzel 3ala ba7r el shoo2" does NOT mean "what" , but something like "we go down/ descend to a sea of tenderness".

Janaki, I`m not trying to rip your lyrics apart or anything, I`m just a language geek
